This is a question that often gets asked. Within each industry there is a massive range of salaries, even within the same job role. Depending on the company you work for, the hours you work and even what part of the country you work in can have a massive impact on your salary.

The highest paid jobs are usually found in London, but also the cost of living in London is much higher than the rest of the UK so unless you commute there from out of the city, you may not end up with much more money than someone on a lower wage living in the Midlands.

The financial sector often offers quite well paid jobs and also jobs that require a number of years training such as doctors and vets. You can earn good money within a job even if you have not attended University or College, if you work hard you can progress up the job ladder via internal promotions.
